Friday Frags

~ I was at school yesterday for 12 hours. I got there a little before 7:00 a.m., and we had Open House so I didn't leave until 7:20 p.m. It was a busy day!

~ We have a new principal at that school, and he's doing a GREAT job! When the superintendent introduced him to us as our new principal, my thought was, "Oh my gosh! He looks like he's YS' age!" He's probably about 5 or 6 years older than YS, but it really made me feel old.

~ High school football starts tonight. It's pretty weird to not have to go to the games unless we want to.

~ I spent 2 hours in the clinic on Wednesday because I was feeling like crap, and YS tested positive for strep on Sunday. I was sure it was strep, but the dr. said it was just the beginning of a bad head/chest cold. I actually felt much better yesterday. I don't remember ever getting a cold this early in the school year. Time to get out the Lysol wipes and the Anywhere spray!

~ This is pretty short, but all I've been doing is working and trying to get my act together for work. I've been real spoiled the past few years with a pretty light caseload, but having a special ed preschool in one of my schools is changing all of that!

That is a LONG day! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! Abby has been sick with a bad head cold for the past 4 days. She said that "everybody" at her school of over 3,000 students has the same thing. Seems to happen at the start of every school year. Feel better soon!

Hope you have a great school year. Although I really enjoy my work in communications, when I hear people talking about the start of a new school year, I really miss being in the classroom. Imagine that--after being in another job for almost 15 years!

A special needs preschool will definitely up your caseload - and your need for Lysol wipes :). I washed my hands so often when I taught Pre-K that I had lotion everywhere - my desk, my purse, my car, every room in the house.

Hoping you feel better soon! I bet the football game situation is strange. I recently saw my sister Mary who just dropped her last child off at college. The kids' bedrooms look so care and empty. She's feeling the "loss".

I do wish that you and I could have a cup of coffee together; we have so much in common!

My caseload has increased by 1/3 this year. However, after last year's group, I'm sure this year will feel like a cakewalk! Dropped Kendall off last night, and today is my first day back at school; I'm sure work will provide a nice distraction.
